I love art, craft, soundtracks and books. I’m a science fiction and fantasy fan. Also a big fan of Psych. Quietly quirky. Firm believer that kindness matters.

The view from my ‘bus stop’ (ie outside my house). An open gate leads to a bare field in winter with patchwork hills in the distance, partly covered in snow. The cloud is low and there is the beginning of a rainbow rising from the central hill.
Portrait of Rebecca Ferguson as Juliette in Silo. Drawn with markers and coloured pencil, then finished in Procreate. She is wearing her sheriff’s uniform and looks tense. Her hair is scraped back into a pony tail with strands escaping. The background is green and yellow, murky colours of the silo.
Screenshot of Shawn and Juliet from the birth scene in This Is Gus. Shawn is pointing to his finger, clearly emotional. Juliet is sympathetic (but does not agree that the baby bit it).
A fog bow (white rainbow) arching over a sandy beach with mist behind it and a bright blue sky beyond.
Portrait of Rebecca Ferguson as Juliette from Silo. (Head and shoulders.) She is wearing her sheriff’s uniform - brown jacket and pale shirt, with a round metal badge. Her hair is tied back (she means business!) and her gaze is intense. The background is green and yellow, suggesting a dimly lit room in the silo.
Photograph of a woodland scene in the Scottish Highlands. Tall thin pine trees in the foreground, greenery everywhere and hills in the distance, beneath a cloudy blue sky.
Digital drawing of Timothy Omundson as Lassiter from Psych (complete with sternbush). Head and shoulders. He is wearing a white shirt, open at the neck, and the top part of his shoulder holster is visible. He looks pensive and his blue eyes are ‘swimmable’…. The background is orange, like the walls of the SBPD.
Photo of a view from a small beach with land to the left running down to the firth. The sky is blue but also cloudy, with one little group of grey clouds near the land that reflect perfectly in the water.
The photo shows my desk with a book called Amigurumi Gnomes by Mufficorn. The book is grey. The title is in the middle, surrounded by example pictures of seasonal gnomes (so cute!). Sitting on the book is the Bellflower Gnome (finished just in time for Christmas - phew!). He is blue with green accents and a bellflower hanging from his pointed hat. His beard is white and there is a bee on his hat.
Photo of a small crochet version of Grogu made with pale green wool for the skin, light brown for his outfit and cream for a scarf. He is sitting on my desk, looking at the camera.
Photo of a book - Amigurumi Friends by Jade Gauthier-Boutin. The title and author are at the top and the purple cover is full of cute crocheted animal characters. The tag says ‘20 easy patterns to create 100+ adorable critters’. Next to the book, at the top, is a small purple crocheted dragon with grey wings and spikes.
Photo of a Grogu toy wearing a Christmas headband (red and green tinsel with red pom-poms and gold baubles). He is sitting on a grey and silver snowflake patterned blanket, staring at the camera hopefully…
Digital charcoal portrait of Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan Kenobi from the series ‘Kenobi’. Head and shoulders, looking to the right of the picture and slightly downward. His rough brown hood is pulled up over his head. His tunic underneath is rumpled and grubby at the neck. He looks concerned. His beard is red and short but bushy. His eyes are blue and his face has lines of character (creases at the corners of his eyes, for example, and lines across his brow). The background is in shades of orange denoting warmth.
A digital portrait of Nynaeve (Zoë Robins). Head and shoulders. She is looking anxious. Her hair is tied back neatly with little evidence of her usual complex, thick braid. She is wearing a white dress with a blue tunic over it. The background is a shadowy blue-grey.
A digital drawing of Maria Doyle Kennedy as Ila of the Tuatha’an from The Wheel of Time. Head and upper body only. She is looking pensively to the right of the picture. The background is in shades of light, bright green. She is wearing a medley of fabrics which all look hand woven in interesting patterns and natural colours like brown and russet. Her headdress is like a loose turban in shades and patterns of blue. She has long earrings and jewellery in her hair, which is long and wavy. She is wearing multiple necklaces, some of beads wrapped in cloth.
Digital painting of Dónal Finn as Mat in The Wheel of Time (season 2). Head and shoulders/chest. He is wearing his scruffy shirt and… well, to call it a coat would be giving it an honour it doesn’t deserve. The colours are dirty and he looks dishevelled. His hair is curly and he has a slight beard. He looks concerned. The back suggests that he is outside - it is stone-coloured and blurry.
A digital painting of Josha Stradowski as Rand al’Thor from The Wheel of Time. Head and shoulders only. The background is orange and heavily shadowed on one side. Rand has short reddish hair which is thick and wavy on top. He is wearing a dark blue shirt. He is looking off to the left of the picture with a thoughtful expression.
A Christmas tree in a dark room. The tree has rainbow coloured lights - red at the top, working down through the usual colours to purple and then white at the bottom. The colours are also cast on the pale wall next to the tree and it’s wonderful!
Digital painting of Camille Saviola as Kai Opaka. Lots of gorgeous colour in this one - purple background and a costume of purple, pink and orange with her signature headdress and jewellery. She is looking off to the left of the picture with an intense, far-seeing expression.
Digital charcoal portrait (head and shoulders) of Michael Rooker as Garth from the episode of Psych where he takes Shawn hostage. The overall tone of the picture is cool blue and the background is clearly the garage, though it’s indistinct. Garth looks troubled (and so he should!). He is wearing overalls with a t-shirt underneath. He has little glasses on. The light is shining through the curls on top of his head. He has a beard.
Sepia toned digital charcoal study of Santiago Cabrera as Aramis. He is wearing a loose white shirt that falls open at the front and a long chain around his neck that bears a crucifix (off picture). The light comes from the left of the picture and the background is dark. There are many folds in his shirt and his dark curls are tumbling loosely.
Digital charcoal portrait of Anson Mount as Christopher Pike from Strange New Worlds. He is sitting in a chair and leaning to the right of the picture, while looking left. He looks quizzical. His hair is swept up in the classic Pike’s Peak. His uniform shirt is golden yellow. Behind him is a blur of extreme light and dark patterns suggesting the ship’s control panels.
A photo of a handmade cloth art doll. Hair face is wistful with big eyes (all hand painted). She has ginger hair in two bunches and a crocheted green hat with an orange marigold on it. Her collar is lace, her dress is light brown and her apron is russet. A trowel hangs from her belt tie and she has a little paper packet in her front pocket. Her boots are green and light brown. She is on a wooden stand and the background is green.
Digital drawing of Morfydd Clark as Galadriel. Her blond hair is bound up in a braided coronet. She is carrying a quiver full of arrows. She is wearing a silver-grey top with embroidered details that resemble branches, and a blue-green cloak. She looks very serious. The background is in shades of brown that suggest a faded forest setting.
Digital painting of Aron Eisenberg as Nog the Ferengi in his Starfleet uniform, smiling out of the picture. He is on DS9. Head and shoulders only.
Digital painting of Kirsten Nelson as Chief Vick. She is leaning on one hand and her eyes are wide and fixed, as though she is trying rather hard to keep them open. She has on a tan jacket and a ‘popped’ leopard print shirt collar, as she so often does. She is sitting in her office chair and the background is orange.
Poppy from the Rings of Power. She is holding an apple and a basket, and smiling.
A digital charcoal portrait of Sasappis. His long dark hair is pulled back from his face at the top and hangs down on either side. He has shell accessories and a bag hanging from his neck. There is fringing all over his tan-coloured top. He is smiling. The background is a cosy room.
Digital painting of Orla Brady as Laris from Star Trek Picard. She is standing in his vineyard with a vine behind her on the left of the picture. She is looking sideways (at Jean Luc) and smiling. Her long brown hair is loose, her ears are pointed (she is Romulan) and she is wearing a tan coat and patterned brown scarf. It is a happy picture on a bright day.
Digital portrait (head and shoulders) of Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher. He is wearing a Starfleet uniform - command red - and one pip. He looks happy. Behind him is a window looking out to space.
Digital painting of David Tennant as the Doctor. It’s dark outside and there are subtle lights behind him. He is wearing a dark suit, dark tie and his signature coat. He looks sad - and understandably so as he is watching the destruction of Pompeii!
Photo of ‘Mini Amigurumi Animals’ by Sarah Abbondio. The book is square and there is a ring of crocheted animals around the title. A little blue crochet dog is sitting on top of it. He has a friendly face and happy ears.
A close up of Whoopi Goldberg as Guinan from Star Trek. Her eyes are filled with bright lights. She is wearing a warm, textured yellow outfit and the colour is also in her hat, which we can see part of. The background is dark, as a contrast, with one streak of pale lilac light.
Digital charcoal drawing of Curt Smith playing guitar in a garden. He is wearing a brown t-shirt with a blue-green cartoon of a penguin on it. He is smiling because he can’t help himself - Shawn/James is just too funny in the scene. A split second reaction that I love and simply had to try and capture.
Picture of an extremely tempting pack of Fox’s winter spiced cookies, which are also half-covered in chocolate. The pack is purple, and already open - how did THAT happen…?
May is peering through a hole he has made in the stone wall. A candle burns beside him, lighting the scene from the left side. His hair is wavy and his brows are arched. His hands are in front of him, resting on the stone. The lower part of his face and the top of his head are obscured. Digital painting, made with Procreate.
A photo of the book ‘Kawaii crochet’ by Melissa Bradley. The book is white with a wide range of brightly coloured amigurumi characters on the front, spread out neatly. A crocheted green apple with a happy face is sitting on the book.
Side-facing portrait (head and shoulders) of Alanna. She has dark hair swept back with the top part loosely coiled, and a determined expression. Her clothing is blue-green, accented with gold chains across her breast. The background is a misty wood.
A photo of the book ‘Edward’s Menagerie: The New Collection’ by Kerry Lord. There are lots of animal creations in neat rows on the front of this pale-coloured hardback. A purple crocheted dog is sitting on top of the book… He is appealing to you to try it!
Digital painting of Jack Quaid as the ‘real life’ version of Boimler - purple hair and all. He is on board the Enterprise, wearing his uniform and smiling in delight.
Photo of a book - A Crochet World of Creepy Creatures and Cryptids by Rikki Gustafson. The book is grey with various amigurumi characters on the front, like Medusa, an alien, a robot, a werewolf, the Minotaur, etc. Sitting next to the book are two characters made from the instructions- a grey gargoyle and a cute green chupacabra with a toothy smile.
Eliot (Christian Kane) is staring right at us with his bright blue eyes. His arm is framing the picture on the left side, clad in black. He is wearing a red short-sleeved shirt over that (chef’s outfit), and has a red bandana across his forehead. His brown hair is down to his shoulders. He is smiling.
A digital painting of Tim Curry (head and shoulders) with his trademark grin. He is looking off to the side. He has a short beard. He is wearing the fluffiest white robe imaginable (too bad he’s going commando under there - allegedly…).
Digital charcoal portrait of Aldis Hodge from Calypso. (Head and shoulders.) He is on board a darkened spaceship. He looks worried and slightly sad. He is looking ahead with his chin tilted upwards. He has a beard. He is wearing a shiny evac suit.
Photo of a hardback book - The Star Wars Bestiary, volume 1. The cover is a creamy brown. The title is at the bottom, beneath a group of Star Wars creatures, large and small, as drawn/painted by Iris Compiet.
Digital charcoal portrait of Charles Edwards as Celebrimbor. Head and shoulders only. He is wearing a deep green robe with leaf details around the neck. His expression is troubled.
